Thank You All for your Replies to this SS. As most of you are waiting for Swara's Revenge to begin, The story will move a bit fast. This part will mainly focus on Sanskar's Realization (Well obviously he cannot redo anything but his Guilt will be seen). So I hope u all like it. Moreover there will be RagLak scenes too in this Part.
Part Eight
Meanwhile in Laksh's Room: Ragini's POV
I entered the Room only to find it Empty. 'Such a Jerk' I thought and was about to leave when a sudden force pulled me inside. Infront of me stood Laksh. If all those things wouldn't have happened I would hug him like always, but now his presence irked me. They all are responsible for Swara's condition, I don't want to Love him anymore. "Why did you call me here?" I asked angrily pulling myself away from him. "Baby, why are you Angry at me?" He asked "What did I do? Seriously Ragini u cannot blame me for Bhai's deeds." I almost laughed. "Bhai..u still call him Bhai after what he did to my Sister. U all Maheshwaris are of the same type. I should have known." I said. He looked at me Angrily. "Don't you dare compare me with Bhai. I would never stoop so low. I love you Ragini. We were a Happy Couple till yesterday but now U don't want to talk to me. I thought u loved me." He said coming closer and slowly cupping my Face. I know I still Love Him. All these days I had been so Happy when Swara had told me that she had fallen for Sanskar. My happiness knew no bounds thinking that Me and Swara would get Married in the same family. I too wanted to tell her about Laksh but I was too scared thinking what would happen if Dadi found out. Me and Laksh had been in a secret Relationship since a Month, yet I didn't tell Swara thinking I would tell her once Sanskar accepts her. But Everything changed just in a Night. All those Dreams...all those Promises had shattered like Broken Glass. Reading my mind Laksh said "Please don't do this Ragini. Don't Leave me for Bhai's Mistakes. U know I love you and will always Love you." My heart wanted to listen to him, to believe his words. The betrayal Swara faced, her broken condition, those taunts she had to bear, how helplessly she accepted Marrying her Rapist...All those things just couldn't be erased. I know I still Love Laksh but I can't accept him. "No Laksh, I cant. I just can't forget what your Bhai did to my Sister. I just can't. Its better we part our ways. Whatever was between us is over now. From now on we will never be together. Get it?" I said. Hiding my tears, I ran out of the Room while I could still hear his pleas. I know it's not Laksh's fault yet I just can't do this anymore. The one who destroyed my sister's happiness is his Brother. Swara might have accepted Sanskar due to helplessness, but Ragini would never do this. When the choice is between your Love and your Sister, Ragini will always choose Swara.

Same Night: Maheshwari Mansion
The Engagement had continued as planned. However, Sanskar's wounded hand had caused a commotion of bad omen among the guests. Nonetheless, Swara had put the Ring completely satisfied with the outcome of her would-be Husband's wounded hand. After a brief discussion about the Marriage, the Gadodias had silently retired to their Home.
The next day had begun and a lot of work had to be done. The Gadodias were in a hurry to finish off the work. Swara had not got time to interact with either of her Parents as they had remained engrossed in the work the entire day. Swara couldn't even make a plan to create some more bad omen drama as she had been rushed from here to there for something or the other. However, she had been able to talk to DP before her Wedding. He had blessed her and wished her all the best. He had also told Swara that from now Swara was on her own as he did not want to be a Hurdle in her Plan as he might fall weak at some time because after all Sanskar was his most favourite son. However he had given Swara the hint that she could go through the cases against Sanskar. Swara had obliged. He had also told Swara to call him Bade Papa from now onwards as their Relationship would soon change in a few hours. Swara had angrily remarked that this Relationship meant nothing for her as she was only Marrying Sanskar for her Revenge. Yet, she told him that she would address him as Bade Papa not for the Relationship she had with his Family But for the Trust he had bestowed on her and giving her the Hope to fight her Battle. DP had smiled and blessed her.
Later Ragini had come to Swara and had applied her the Mehendi. When the time came of writing the groom's name, Ragini had abstained from writing the name. But Dadi had come into the scene and had written Sanskar's Name on her Hand much to Swara's disgust. After Dadi Left, Swara ran into the Washroom, wiping the Mehendi off her Hands with Soap, Shampoo and Bleach. Yet the Mehendi had remained clearly indicating his Name on her Hand. In an anguish, Swara had kept her Hand under the Burning Candle making herself believe that Sanskar could never have a part in her Life. The Marriage preparations had continued till it was the time of taking Swara to the Mandap. The Gadodias stared in disgust as they handed over their daughter to her Rapist. Swara had managed to keep herself calm throughout the Wedding by making herself believe that THIS WAS ONLY FOR HER REVENGE. She closedher eyes as tears fell when he filled her Maang and tied the Mangalsutra around her Neck. The Marriage had been completed and the Bidaai took place. Swara had cried her Heart out even though she knew that this was not Permanent. After the Bidaai had been done, the Maheshwaris had bid the Gadodias farewell as they took A new member with them.
The Grah-Parvesh Rasams had been carried out and then Swara was taken to Sanskar's Room technically Their Room escorted by Annapurna Maheshwari. After taking Swara inside the well-decorated Room, AP had made her sit on the SuhaagRaat Bed which was decorated with Roses. AP had expressed her concern for Swara and had apologized for Sanskar's behaviour. She had however told Swara that though Swara would hate Sanskar, he was not that Bad as Swara thought. She had continued explaining the role of a wife in transforming her Husband from a bad soul in to a good soul. Swara had not been interested in AP's words as her mind had been thinking of ways to spoil her SR. She had planned a few things in mind but due to AP's presence she could not implement them. She had given her hints that she was tired and it would be better if AP leaves but AP stood adamant as she continued expressing her views for making a Marriage work. As Swara had dreaded, Sanskar had come inside when AP was continuing her Lecture. Seeing Sanskar approach, AP got up from her position told Sanskar to take care of Swara and left the Room. Seeing Sanskar locking the Door shivers ran down Swara's spine scared of what he could do to her.
Swara's POV
I was sitting on the well-decorated SR bed as I could hear him locking the Door. He turned around to look at me sending Shivers down my Spine. Here I was facing my Rapist who was now my Husband without any plan and no defence. I just wanted to get up and run away. I couldn't bear another torture from him. He approached me and sat down on the edge of the Bed much close to me. His hands travelled to my Head as he Removed the veil. I kept my head down, my insides telling me to run away. Sensing my fear, he grabbed my burnt hand which had been bandaged. "What happened Here? I was expecting to find my Name on your Hand." He said and gently removed the Bandage from my hand only to see the Burn. "Ouch" I screeched in pain. He smirked at me and said "Why do I feel that this has been done on Purpose." I fell short of words. "Noo..I was...wor..working...in the Kitchen and..." He gently caressed my hand and said "Very Well. But I do have a Medicine for this." He got up from the Bed and left the Room. He returned a minute later carrying a bowl in his hands. He came and sat on the Bed and took my burnt hand in his hand. The bowl had Mehendi in it. He gently started applying the Mehendi on my Hand purposely making a 'S' on my palm. I closed my eyes in disgust. "Now this Looks Better...A perfect S on your hand." He said delighted with the outcome. I pulled my hand away from him. His hands started caressing my Face. I moved away immediately but that didn't seem to bother him as he drew more closer to me. "Please..." I begged "U have already got what you wanted...Please don't do this." He smirked at me and said "We have a different relation now. You are my Wife now and I have a Right over you." I wanted to kill him right away. If only that Annapurna Maheshwari would have left earlier I wouldn't be so helpless. He is coming closer and closer. I want to unleash my Fury upon him but I can't, He will get to know I Married Him for Revenge. I Am stuck in this situation, I need to find a way out. But it seems impossible. He is caressing my Face, running his Fingers along my Neck. I want to Run away. I can't keep myself calm. All those Horrible Memories are taunting me. I try to push him away but he is to strong for me. He pushes me and I fall on the Bed. He immediately comes on Top of me. Tears roll out of my eyes. I had promised myself to not be so Helpless yet in this situation I am completely Helpless. All those Memories are haunting me, making me feel weak, making me realize that I can't do anything. I try to stop them but in vain. I can feel him nibbling my neck. In a sudden move, he comes closer to my face. Our Lips inches apart. I close my eyes as tears fall out knowing what is going to happen. But I don't feel anything. The weight on my Body has been reduced. I open my Eyes and see that he is sitting on the Bed.

Sanskar's POV
She opens her eyes to realize that I have moved away. She immediately gets up hugging her dupatta tightly. Tears fall down from her Face. I can clearly see the fear in her Eyes. 'What was I going to do' I ask myself. What is her Fault in all this? Nothing! Yet, why do I always give her Pain. The Fear in her eyes makes me restless. "Calm Down" I say "I'm not touching you." She composes herself but moves far away. Why did I do this to her? She Loved me so much yet, I only hurt her. My eyes drift to my Bandaged Hand. I remember the concern I had seen in her eyes even though I had hurt her so much. The Fear in her eyes is still visible. She is scared that I might hurt her again. I cannot do this to her anymore. Taking a deep breath, I say "Swara, I'm Sorry for what I did to you and for what I was about to do." I can see shock in her eyes. She hadn't expected this. Not receiving any Reply from her I continue "Look Swara, I know u Married Me for your Family especially for Ragini. Even I agreed for this Marriage for Bade Papa. But the truth is we are tied in to this Marriage even though we don't want it. We both no that we cannot be freed from it. Yet, I will try my best to Make this Marriage Work but it won't be possible without your Help. I'm sorry for trying to Force you Again but from now on I promise you I wont touch you again without your permission. I will give you all the time you need for Accepting this Marriage. I won't force you to accept anything. I promise I will try my Best to Make our Relationship Work but it wont be possible without your Help Swara. So please Swara will you Help Me?" She looked shocked for a few seconds then gently nodded her Head. I got up from the Bed. "Go and Change Swara" I said. She got up and with steady steps took her Clothes and walked towards the Bathroom. Why does she have an effect over me?
- End of Sanskar's POV-
Swara's POV
I slowly entered the Bathroom, a thousand thoughts in my mind. His words still ringing in my head. 'I will never force you' He had said. Really? Then what did he do when she had pleaded him that Day to Let Her Go. He hadn't stopped. She had been hurt by knowing that all he wanted was to fulfill a Bet and he had never actually Loved Her. Hurt by his actions when she was about to Leave he had Raped Her. That Night had been the worst night of my Life. Yet, Bade papa had given me the Hope to Fight for my Right and that's what I'm doing. He probably has some new plan in his mind...some new strategy...some new Bet...That's why he has said all this. I will never let him Fool Him again. Well atleast he thinks I Married Him for Ragini. He is unaware of my Revenge. He has made my Work more Easier. Atleast I don't have to dread his presence every time. I should only concentrate on my Revenge. Looking at my Hand which consisted of the Mehendi depicting his Name, I put my Hand under the Running Water to wash the Mehendi away. 'He will never have any part in my Life' I told myself.
I changed my clothes and walked out of the Washroom. He had also changed. Looking up at me he said "Swara I will sleep on the couch and you can sleep on the Bed." I nodded my Head in Agreement. He silently took his pillow and a blanket and started arranging them. I came and sat on my Bed. The Bed reminded me of the Recent Incident. A fear gripped me. What if he did this again? I can't be so weak. I have to fight the Horrible Memories. I cannot let him make me feel weak. If he hadn't stopped himself then I would end up facing the same situation yet again. No...No.. Swara you have to be Strong. The Horrible Memories should be your Strength not your Weakness. I have to make them my Strength because if he does this again, I should have the Strength to Fight Him. "Swara..Are you Fine" I heard him say. "Yeah I'm fine" I said and slowly rested my Head on the Pillow. I remembered what Bade Papa had told me to go through the Cases against Sanskar. Bade Papa had clearly hinted to something Big. It was my Duty to find out what it was. I cannot Fall Weak. 'I'm here only for Revenge and once that's done I will have no Relation with this Family nor with Sanskar' I Reminded Myself. 'Good Night Sanskar' sleep peacefully because after this you will never have a Peaceful Sleep. Chuckling at my thoughts, I closed my Eyes to Sleep.
